For Tng WASHINGTON CRric.
We talk about the weather,
My Lady fair aud |,
And idly wonder whether
The day will be wet Or dry.
A year ago, a meeting
Like this was bliss for me,
Mud the kiss she gave In greeting
Was thrill Of ecstasy.
loved her, oh, so madly
And 1t almost broke my heart
When she told me, oh, so sadly,
That we for year must part.
She sailed across the ocean
For European tour;
And my letters breathed devotion
For which words seemed all too poor.
She returned with new airs and graces,
And with manners far more free;
But though still as fair her face is,
She is not the same to me.
60 we talk about the weather,
And-paradox OF the heart
The more we are together,
The farther we are apart.

ness and what contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icatcd sugar-plums" = the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. t. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,

have written at greater length. Ho
says: Ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
1t must bo long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DIR. George T.. Walker, Of Martins
vile, Virginia.
